Security News > 2020 > December > Telemed Poll Uncovers Biggest Risks and Best Practices

Telemed is a two-way street; patients at home are using home networks and personal devices to access their care - which can be much more susceptible to attackers than doctors' office infrastructure.

When it comes to the risks that cybersecurity professionals are concerned about, more than half of respondents said that the biggest security challenges stem from the risk of data breaches as more patient information moves to the cloud.

Virtual healthcare and telehealth services are also top of mind when it comes to risks, with half of the respondents indicating they have had a telemed appointment since the pandemic broke out.

On the positive side of the equation, respondents cited their favorite best practices for security teams in healthcare organizations to take on.
